What was the name of the young actor? James Dean.

Guinness wasn't the only one who experienced a strange sensation at the sight of Jimmy's car. A few days before Jimmy's final trip, his friend Ursula Andress begged him not to go anywhere: "I have a bad feeling. Don't go!" Jimmy asked her to accompany him, but she refused. That was the last time she saw him alive.

These are just two extraordinary coincidences surrounding the tragic death of the most charismatic actor of all time. He was expected to be the greatest actor of all time, but he died while driving an undoubtedly unlucky car. Jimmy was the first victim of the "curse" that befell the Porsche Spyder, which well earned him the nickname "Little Bastard," bestowed upon him by Dean.

After Jimmy's death, the wreck of the "Little Scoundrel" was purchased by garage owner George Barris, intending to use all the parts that had survived the accident. While being unloaded into the garage, the car fell off the platform and struck the mechanic's leg, breaking it. Soon after, the racer bought two tires and installed them on his own car. While driving, both tires burst for unknown reasons, the car veered off the road, and the driver barely escaped with his life. In October 1956, the "Little Scoundrel" caused three separate accidents during a single race in Pomona, California. A competitor, surgeon William Eschrich, installed the "Little Scoundrel's" engine in his car. He narrowly escaped death when the car went off a curve. Police officer Bob Miller was standing near the track at the time. A wheel of Escherich's car, torn off in the accident, struck him in the face. Doctor Troy McHenry, unfortunately, was not as lucky as Escherich and Miller. During the race, he lost control of the steering wheel of his car, which had parts from the star's car installed, hit a tree and died on the spot.few months later, truck driver George Barkuis was transporting "Little Scoundrel." His truck veered off the road. The driver escaped death by falling from the cab, but a moment later, fate overtook him. The cursed car fell off the platform, killing him instantly. Later, "Little Scoundrel" was parked among other cars in a garage, which burned down for unknown reasons. All the cars were destroyed, except Dean's, which escaped the fire unscathed.

In 1960, a car being transported by train to Barris after a Miami show disappeared without a trace, likely stolen. Was this the end of the disasters caused by the cursed "Little Scoundrel"? It's unknown. What happened to the thief? Did he live a long life, enjoying his ill-gotten, infamous trophy?

After James Dean's death, countless unsubstantiated and sensational stories circulated. Some claimed that Jimmy had communicated with them through psychic means, claiming he hadn't actually died, but had suffered disfiguring wounds. He was reportedly secretly taken to a clinic and undergone plastic surgery. His ghost was even seen, leading the specter of "Little Bastard" along a cursed road near Cholame, endlessly replaying the tragic accident. Sounds from the crash were also allegedly heard. Believe it or not.

Jimmy, however, was undoubtedly known for his extraordinary wit and dark humor. He enjoyed surprising and shocking. In February 1955, photographer Dennis Stock accompanied him on a visit to Fairmount, Indiana, where the future actor spent his childhood. Jimmy then decided to pose for a photograph in an open casket at Hunt's funeral home. In the photo, taken by another photographer, Sanford Roth, Jimmy holds his head in a noose and hangs limply like a hanged man with a broken neck. It was probably just a grim coincidence that Jimmy returned to Fairmont dead and was photographed in a casket at the same funeral home. This time, however, both death and a broken spine were real.Jimmy's terse, razor-sharp wit was paired with a penchant for reflection and analysis. The actor left behind many insightful observations, but nothing compares to an impromptu remark during a television interview aimed at promoting road safety. Jim sat down in front of the cameras less than two weeks before his death. At the end of the interview, the journalist asked him for advice for viewers. Jimmy changed the original interview script and said, "Drive carefully. This could save my life!" It's terrifying and incredible that the last words spoken on screen proved so prophetic!

Jimmy's last film was Giant. This fact is connected to the almost grotesque event surrounding his death. People were shocked to learn that the face of the dead Jimmy, recovered from the wreckage after the accident, was that of an old man. In the final scenes of Giant, Jim played an old and damaged Jett Rink. The film's makeup artists achieved the desired effect by shaving Dean's forehead. The "high forehead" significantly aged him. Jimmy set off for the Salinas race seven days after filming Giant. His hair had not yet grown back. It is ironic that the actor remembered by posterity as "the chosen one of the gods who died young" met his untimely end when he looked like an old man.

Jimmy once said, "I feel there are events in life we can't avoid. They happen regardless of our will because that's who we are—we simply bring upon ourselves our own fate, our own destiny." During his lifetime, Jimmy's greatest passion was bullfighting. He even had a real bloody matador's muleta in his collection. Cruel chance dictated that this peculiar passion found expression in his death. According to John Howlett, author of James Dean:

A Biography, during the crash, Jimmy "impaled himself on the steering wheel like a matador on the horns of a bull."
